I took a couple courses through Cisco's Net Academy program. Has anyone else done this and does the "certificate of completion" have any meaning at all? I'm not interested in getting the CCNA/CCDA certificates... I'm just wondering if it would help at all in getting any type of job in a college computer lab.

The certificate of completion is of some small value. The CCNA is worth FAR more!

You're talking about getting a CCNA? So far as I know ,anyone who signs up and pays can take the test -- I doubt you'd even need a high school diploma. Cisco's website specifically states that there are no prerequisites. Getting a job without a college degree, on the other hand, might be a little more difficult. If you're having trouble with community college-level math, that's a bit of a red flag with regards to your decision-making processes, which would be vital for anyone looking to build a network from the ground up for customers with specific needs. Unless you want to be stuck in a dead-end job helping users who've plugged phone cords into their ethernet ports I'd really suggest that you get some extra help and try to get that degree.
